I also vote for an exim package. And, for what it's worth...

Right now I ssh over to a linux box whenever I need to do any kind of name
lookups. I realize bind would potentially be a lot of trouble for the
maintainer (daemons tend to be), but I'd really like to have bind and
bind-utils packages included. I've also had one person ask me if Cygwin had
'dig' since that's a command he used a lot on linux.
